King Charles has praised the value of apprenticeships but warned they are often “abandoned” and criticised a lack of vocational education across the country.
The comments were made before he became King in a one-off-episode of The Repair Shop, which will be broadcast by the BBC tonight at 8pm.
The then-Prince criticised the lack of vocational education, labelling it a “great tragedy”.
In the episode, he praises the value of technical skills and apprenticeships and says he has the greatest admiration for people who have technical skills.
